If you want to get serious about learning English but also want to preserve some of your free time for enjoying everything Manchester has to offer, then the General English course from Kaplan could be for you. You’ll develop your language skills for academic, professional and everyday life contexts, which is done by giving equal attention to improving all four of the main areas of language study: Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking.
Kaplan asks participants to take part in a placement test before starting, to determine which level group you would benefit most from. Every 5 weeks you will take another test, to measure your improvement, and continue to ensure that you’re in the most appropriate group for your needs.
Class sizes are a maximum of 15 students, which lets the tutor get to know everyone’s needs more easily than in a larger class setting, and you as the student will also feel more comfortable when asking your teacher for any help you might need.
